Please note, the NDEB website refers to Written Examination and OSCE examinations. These examinations are only required if you want to be certified for registration and to practise in Canada.

You can attempt each assessment component three times, with no time limit to complete the NDEB equivalency process.

The ACS and the ACJ may be taken concurrently or separately.

What must I do with the Dental Council when I enter the NDEB equivalency process?

If you decide to enter the NZDREX pathway by enrolling in the NDEB equivalency process you do not need to advise us or complete any application forms with us.

Just follow all the processes required by NDEB, and once you have successfully completed the equivalency process (i.e. passed the AFK, ACJ and ACS) and received the necessary confirmation from the NDEB, you will have gained NZDREX.

How do I register once I have passed the NDEB equivalency process?

We strongly suggest you read these requirements before you start the NZDREX process. If we do not consider you are fit for registration, we will not register you, even if you have passed the NDEB assessments.
